Campaign for a Renewed Rural Development

Welcome to the Campaign for a Renewed Rural Development

For many years the common D.C. line has been that rural America gets so little attention because its diverse organizations never speak with one voice. The Campaign for a Renewed Rural Development raises that united voice. Our national organizations represent most of the sectors which work each day to sustain and revitalize rural America. We all recognize that if our rural communities do not thrive, no one sector will. Please join in this effort to assure our nation's policy decision makers understand and address our united request!

    The Campaign for a Renewed Rural Development sent a letter to Senate leadership addressing the positive and negative aspects of the Senate's version of the Farm Bill in advance of the markup. The coalition is pleased with the policy changes in the bill that will improve the Rural Development Title, but is dissapointed at the lack of mandatory funding for these critical programs.

“Thirty Seven of our nation's most influential policy advocacy organizations, working together to assure a renewed federal commitment to rural people and places.”
